Lagos – Recently, the Lagos Water Corporation concluded the the 6-day training on SIM Initiative.

One of the lessons learnt from the exercise was to improve on our database, by bringing new customers irrespective of their status, e.g. New, Old, Distressed, Disconnected Customers among other.

Little did we know that the LWC anticipation to woo back our old customers to our database will soon happen than expected.

The lesson was manifested when delegates from Nigerian Army Bonny Camp (Victoria Island base) came calling to LWC, yesterday, 7th March, 2018, with the sole aim of reconnecting back to LWC water.

While welcoming the delegates led by Colonel Jones Emene and Captain Adeniyi to his office with affection, the LWC, MD/CEO, Engr. Muminu Badmus said that water delivery to Lagosians has improved tremendously with 24/7 supply to over 22million population of the State.

MD added that LWC water is potable and free from germs and other unwanted particles.

“Borehole water is contaminated, public water is the only water that conform with World Health Organization’s (WHO) standard”

He stressed that we are presently powered by IPP 24/7, which is making our operations more efficient and effective.

LWC boss promised to connect them back to LWC water in the next few days, while payment of outstanding debts will follow immediately.

He however, asked Engr. Suraj Ijaiya to fast track the reconnection process and Mr. Micheal Ajose to follow up with the settlement of outstanding debts.

More of this development is expected as an testimony to SIM initiative, popularly known as Dadaism or Dadastic concept.

The Lagos State Government has extended potable water supply to Imeke, Iworo, and other adjoining communities of Olorunda Local Community Development Area (LCDA), Badagry, Lagos.

This was disclosed during the Lagos Water Corporation Managing Director/CEO, Engr. Muminu Adekunle Badmus’s courtesy visit to His Royal Highness, (HRH), Alayeluwa Oba Abraham Ogabi, Onimeke of Imekeland (Oyikilu I), recently.

LWC boss explained that the administration of His excellency, Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has extended potable water supply to Imeke, Iworo and other adjoining communities, through the Construction of 2Million Gallons per Day (MGD) Waterworks.

“This is part of Ambode’s proactive steps and efforts in bringing potable water supply to every home in the communities, and thereby close the water demand gap in the State”.

The residents are now enjoying potable water supply through stand pipes located in different parts of this communities as a test run of the project and also confirmed ongoing mains/pipes extension in the area.

While assuring the residents of the sustainability of the project, Engr. Badmus enjoined them to connect and migrate to the public potable water supply, that is conform to World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Standard, because borehole water is contaminated.

He urged the residents to the protect the laudable project jealously and report any act of vandalization to the Regional Business Manager or call the Customers Care lines on 07045973012, 07045973013.

Before now, Imeke, Iworo communities have been relying on borehole water as source of their water supply, but with this development, there is access to uninterrupted public potable water supply.

However, Engr. Badmus added that there is improvement in the potable supply of water across the State, as the Corporation now producing and supplying uninterrupted water to residents in the State, evidenced by the fact that communities that had never been supplied water for many years are now being supplied potable water.

These areas include Ijesha, Makoko, Ikate, Iwaya, Unilag second gate, Odunlami linkage (Lagos Island), Isheri Olowora, Agege, and many others.

In his statement of appreciation, Oba Abraham lauded Governor Akinwunmi Ambode administration towards the Construction of the Waterworks and bringing evidence of democracy to their door steps.

He also prayed for his continuous success in other areas, adding that network should be extended to other neighbouring communities.

The Imeke/Iworo Waterworks is expected to be commissioned soon.

*IJORA, LAGOS*- Lagos Water corporation Managing Director/CEO, Engr. Muminu Adekunle Badmus has said that the Corporation is set to reward individual efforts in its bid to improved the revenue generation of the Corporation.

The LWC boss disclosed this in a very clear term during the flagg-off of 100 days Service Incentive Mechanism (SIM) popularly called Dadastic Model or Dadaism, at the Corporation Headquarters, Ijora, Lagos, today 1st March, 2018.

‘Awards will be given to individuals who perform extraordinary, as a motivator for his/her efforts”.

MD stated that the SIM initiative is designed as a successor for Performance Enrichment Sustainability Program (PESP), added that SIM concept will serve as an efficient and effective mechanism for improved service delivery to Lagosians.

Engr. Badmus in his statement congratulated the recently selected Staff for various positions, adding that the whole Corporation put their trust on them for better performances, especially, in the area of improve in revenue.

“What makes some organization fails to meet expectation, is when money is not handled judiciously”. Whatever it take we shall make this initiative work, he added.

While commending the Staff performances, MD said, the Corporation has received various awards, especially in the area of Customers Service Satisfaction, Improved Water delivery in the State among others, noting that the Corporation is now competing globally, as people are interested on our success stories.

“Water sales, New Customers and bringing back our old Customers into our database, even the suppress bills Customers are major issue for us now, and cannot be handled as a trivial issue”, he declared.

All these issues are the key issues the Corporation is battling with presently, which brought about SIM initiative, MD said.

While taking the Staff on a memory lane, the Head, projects and Strategy,, Mr. Sikiru Ogunlana narrated the emergence of SIM initiative, stated that on 28th June, 2017 the Lagos Water Corporation partnered with 2ML and launched the High Impact, Short-Term and Quick Win Performance Enrichment Program (PEP), as way of improved in service delivery to LWC Customers.

The program witnessed tremendous achievements during its short period with increased revenue generation that ran to 80million in a month.

This unprecedented achievement inspired the Corporation to change its name to PESP.

“On the 31st of October, 2017, precisely, we launched and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Corporation and our consultants to give way to another program tagged Performance Enrichment Sustainability Program (PESP), to sustain the existing PEP, and to further improve the delivery of potable water to Lagosians and improve on the revenue generation of the Corporation. Though, this rechristening had little impact or effect”, Mr. Ogunlana said.

On his comment, the SIM exponent, Mr. Adefolaju Dada said today, the 1st March, 2018, the Corporation is witnessing the transformation of the PESP initiative into this new power-packed incentive, known as the Service Incentive Mechanism (SIM), as a successor to PESP.

This is a Standard Operating System (SOP) designed as an internal processing system to appreciate individual efforts/performances towards improved service delivery and revenue generation of LWC.

He added that, the Management found out that in October, 2017, the revenue was dropping gradually, which was a major concern for the Corporation and of the opinion to rechristened PESP for improved performance.

He therefore urged the distribution and commercial staff (Customers Relation Officers) to go from house to house and make inactive Customers active.

He urged the CROs to focus less emphasis on old debtors and more on current charges, he charged.

He concluded that with open minded and determinations, all our objectives in SIM initiative is possible, he concluded.

Water is one of the most important substances on earth, it is so important that all plants and animals must have water to survive.
It is also essential that the water people drink and use for other purposes is clean and free from germs and pathogens. Therefore, to make water potable, its production must conform to the World Health Organization?s standard.
Producing sufficient water for the world population has been a great challenge as many countries are currently grappling with water stress.

The Cape Town story in South Africa is raising concerns, not only in African countries, but in all the Countries of the world.

The available water in this city is dwindling at an alarming rate, and residents are now being forced to cut down on their water usage by recycling and conserving water. Perhaps, this precarious situation is a manifestation of the projections made by the Global World Water Report that the world would have only 60% of the water it needs by 2030.

Research has also shown that more than 2 billion people globally are living with excess global water stress. In Northern Africa and Western Asia, citizens experience water stress levels above 60%, indicating the strong probability of future water scarcity.

Considering this situation, there must be concerted efforts of all countries to effect a significant policy that would drive development of water resources and accelerate production and supply of water for sustaining the world population,.

This means we must be truly committed to meeting the Sustainable Development Goal 6 which outlines the need for available and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

However, Nigeria is not relenting, as the Country has developed a National Water Resources Master Plan, spanning 2014 ? 2030, for water resources development, water supply, irrigation, and other related issues, that would resolve the major challenges inhibiting efficiency of water supply in the Country.

Within the policy framework of this master plan, the responsibility of water supply in Nigeria is shared between three levels of government; Federal, State and Local. While the Federal Government is in charge of water resources management, State governments have the primary responsibility for urban water supply; and Local Governments together with communities share the responsibility for rural water supply.

But In spite of this arrangement, access to potable water has been a major issue, as less than 60 percent of the population have access to safe and clean water.

Lagos, a resilient state and the commercial hub of Africa, with the population of over 22 million people, is unperturbed about this situation as it is continuously putting in place various strategies to tackle the challenge of water scarcity before it arises. The state has developed a Lagos Water Supply Master Plan (2010 ? 2020) as a roadmap to tackling the challenge of water production and supply.

In the year 2015, when the present administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode came on board, the administration took proactive steps in addressing water challenges in the State by investing heavily in the State?s water sector.

The first step taken was solving the problem of erratic power supply which has been a major hindrance to production and supply of water in the State. The government ensured that the Independent Power Plant (IPP) of 12.15 MW at Akute Intakes was re-jigged to supply power to Iju and Adiyan waterworks. Aside being connected to the national grid, generating sets were procured to serve the major waterworks as well as the micro and mini waterworks

This regime also took an active step towards combating water crisis in the state by constructing and commissioning the Ota-Ikosi Regional Water Scheme of 4MGD, and the Mosan- Okunola mini waterworks of 2 MGD. These water plants are currently supplying over 10 communities in Agbowa /Ikorodu area of the State.

In addition, this administration used a realistic approach to close water demand gap in the State by carrying out rehabilitation and expansion projects in different parts of Lagos, involving the replacement of old pipes and extension of water mains, thereby increasing water supply in different parts of Lagos especially in Surulere, Itire, Yaba/Ebute-Metta, Iwaya and Victoria Island among others.

In the same vein, there are a lot of proposed projects laid down by this administration to effectively and ultimately tackle the problem of water shortage in the state. These projects include the development of the Igbonla Water Scheme Phase 1 of 100MGD, expected to serve Epe, Eti-Osa, Ikoyi, Ibeju Lekki, Victoria Island and Lagos Island. The second phase of this project is also being planned, projected to produce 110 MGD, with a distribution network of 500km.

Other proposed schemes include Adiyan Phase III of 70MGD, with 6,295 km network, Ibese Phase I Water Treatment Plant of 50 MGD, and the Yewa/Ishasi water scheme calculated to produce 85MGD

In addition, a proposed integrated water supply in Ikorodu and its peri-urbans will be executed to supply 35MGD. This project will comprise upgrading Ota-Ikosi from 4MGD to 31MGD; the rehabilitation of Oke-Ota-Ona Water Plant and Lagos road mini waterworks currently supplying 3MGD and 2MGD respectively.
This integrated water supply project will also include the construction of 7 booster stations that would enhance production and supply of water to the communities in the axis.

It is also worthy of note that recently, the present administration carried out massive rehabilitation of waterworks across the State. This has resulted in an additional 90 MGD to the existing 210 MGD.
The Corporation now produces and supplies uninterrupted water to residents in the State, evidenced by the fact that communities that had never been supplied water for many years are now being supplied potable water. These areas include Ijesha, Makoko, Ikate, Iwaya, Unilag second gate, Odunlami linkage (Lagos Island), Isheri Olowora, Agege, and many others.

However, it is true that the influx of the people into Lagos has continued to put pressure on all the social amenities. This is added to the fact that the population of Lagos is projected to hit 29 million by 2020.
While as of now water demand in the state is 540 MGD, and supply is 220 MGD, there is a great gap of 320 MGD
Therefore, based on the present plans and ongoing water projects in the state, Lagos Water Corporation has the capacity to deliver 745MGD, when demand hits 733MGD, giving the State excess of 12MGD.
Considering these efforts put in place by the State, in addressing the dreaded global water scarcity, there is no gainsaying the fact that with the proactive measure being taken by Governor Ambode, water shortage in Lagos State is well on its way out.

Engr. Badmus said ” the Corporation is now producing and supplying potable water to Lagos residents 22/7, but urged Viathan to improve the supply to 24/7″, and also its sustainability.

LWC boss charged the two parties to come up with a Standard Operating Procedures for better result.

The issue of disruption of water production and supply due to scarcity gas supply should be addressed immediately whenever there is going to be a shortage, so that the Corporation can switch to alternative power source from National grid (PHCN).

MD appreciated the performance of Viathan though, impelled LWC, Lagos Electricity board and Viatham Staff to work out a modalities to avert future disruption of power supply from Lagos Island IPP, as LWC is ready to flood Lagos with Water, He stated.

In his response to MD’s comments, the Viathan MD, Mr. Ladi Sanni thanked the LWac management and attributed the challenges of scarcity of gas supply to NDC due to unreliable/delayed information from the body, as this hindered supply of power to major Waterworks and Intake, though, promised to improve on it for better efficiency.

“Communication is very important, we shall improve on it, at times we need confirmation from NDC before we communicate with all our customers”, he said.

In his contributions, the Corporation’s Chief Operating Officer, Engr. Deji Johnson added that a reliable and urgent means of Communications needed to be in place to hasten-up communication between the Viathan and Corporation”.

The two parties suggested and agreed on introduction of Walking Talking Radio, WhatsApp platform as means of effective Information dissemination between parties.

Engr. Johnson said Communication is vital in this business, because issues of disruption of water supply needed to be disseminated to the Customers urgently.

These will complement the already existing official mailing of memos and correspondence between the two Organizations.

It is worthwhile to note that the 12.15MW Akute IPP was commissioned in 2010 as an alternative power supply to epileptic power source from PHCN, National grid. In the past, the Power plants faced various degree of challenges e.g. scarcity of gas supply etc. which hindered the efficiency of the Plants.

The cheering news is that the IPP has been in incredible form lately supplying power to the major water works of Adiayn, Iju and Akute Intake which has aided uninterrupted production and supply of water to Lagos residents. Equally, the Island IPP supplies power to Waterworks at Onikan, Lekki, Dolphin, Victoria Island among others.

“Safe water and adequate sanitation and hygiene facilities are critical to the survival,
growth and well being of the children.”

Universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation is one of the seven promises made by 71 Heads of State at the World Summit for Children in 1990 to transform and improve the lives of the world?s children.

“The reason is clear: Safe water is essential for life and sanitation and hygiene enhances good health.”

Presently, “In Nigeria, access to clean water and sanitation is generally improving ? but at a slow pace.”

Available statistics indicate that access to basic sanitation and water supply in the country is still less than 50 percent. Increasing access is therefore a major challenge.

It is on this premise that the Minister for Water Resources, Engr. Suleiman H. Adamu in his remarks called for modalities and strategies to revitalize the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene sector, as a way forward to improve access to safe drinking Water and Sanitation in Nigeria.

A recommendations and communique is expected to be issued at end of the 2-day retreat to draw the curtains of the 2nd edition of the National retreat.
